• Abstract:

  The construction of social inclusion policies began to be debated more frequently after the implementation of vacancy reservations in public university institutions. At the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS), in Bahia, it was no different. The institution takes measures such as offering scholarships and grants, creating and maintaining the restaurant and university residences, in addition to specific measures for each course. In the UEFS Dentistry course, since 2011, an Instrument Loan Bank (BEI) has been maintained for more than 300 students, but this measure began to signal inefficient logistics, as the instruments and equipment were under the management of the students themselves, throughout the course. Some items were not returned in perfect condition and could not be handed over to the next class, causing some classes to receive more permanence materials than others. Currently, the course is undergoing a process of modification of this permanence policy, making it possible to expand the availability of instruments for all students in the UEFS Dentistry course. The teaching materials are now managed by the three UEFS clinics in accordance with the curricular components, physical structure and available human resources. Thus, this work aims to report the experience of volunteer monitors and collegiate coordinator in the construction of a Pilot Project for the Instrumentalization of the UEFS Dentistry Course.
